"We have decided to replace khaki half pant with brown pant. We are not rigid and take decisions according to the time," Suresh 'Bhayyaji' Joshi, sarkarywah (general secretary) of the RSS, told a press conference in the Rajasthani city.

Loose Khaki shorts have been the trademark of RSS cadres since the organisation's inception in 1925. Even though other parts of the uniform have been changed from time to time, khaki shorts remained in vogue till now.

"We decided on brown colour though there is no specific reason for it but is commonly available and looks good," replying to questions, the RSS leader said.

While the RSS seemed confident of their new fashion sense, Twitter had its own assessment.

"The RSS has updated itself because they are now in power. They would wear full pants instead of half pants, but we would again make them return in 'half pants'. We have to remove BJP from the entire country."
